Great Lunch With Salsa?


.....How did you know?

 

<3 salsa

 

Curious why you wouldn't part it out, seems like it would sell faster even if it would be more work on your end. Especially since you have a lot of desirable parts, except that 259..... No offense, most people would be afraid of the spool time for a daily driver even if it is a billet wheel or whatever it maybe. Charge pipes cha Ching, intercooler cha Ching, built motor cha cha Ching, wingless s trunk cha Ching, etc...... if i totalled my balt tomoroow i would definitely buy this car for asking price given the radio is put in, ac charged and working strong, and sc rims with good rubber all around are installed when I picked it up. Presentation and marketability is key., don't market to the less than 1% cobalt crowd, market to the majority.

 

You're running the same turbine housing I am lol. Spool is not bad. It's a 6mm larger compressor. Radio can be put back in. AC parts will come with but I will not be putting them on. Would need to re do the whole water pump setup for AC.

I could sell the turbo kit, but then I'd need an m62 kit. I could sell the engine, but then I'd need a stock engine. I could sell the wingless trunk, but then I'd need a trunk. I could put stock wheels on it, but I'd need to buy them.

Parting out is not going to happen. Too much work, same price, no return.

 

If all that selling was Local you'd defiently come out on top. Or take that stuff to CED.....everything would sell there! just get a few beers in people and and tell them your paypal account, i know youd get me . Didn't know you had the same housing, that's a plus!

I think I saw monograt427 have a sc kit for sale for 800 without heat exchanger. So say you buy a he for 200 and flashed your PCM to stock for free bc I'm pretty sure you have hpt. Now buy a stock header for less than 40 shipped which is what I've seen them go for and then source a catback. And say you scoop up a stock lsj cat back for 100 shipped. That's 800+200+100+140-300 for hpt youd sell it for=940. Plus rims which usually go for under 300 without tires so say 250. That puts you at 1190 plus some cheapo tires bc hey you are trading it in or selling it to some newb. You can easily make a a couple grand profit selling/trading a stock lsj engine for yours...bam you at least break even and can trade your built engine for a stocker plus cash. Now you have sc kit put on your car and stock engine plus cash in your wallet. You also still have your whole turbo arsenal to sell plus sell your car for 9-10k usd$ easily. Plus misc stuff that can be pulled from the car

 

CED is too close. Knew the car wouldn't be making any passes so I didn't bother asking off work.

I thought everyone knew the 259s came with the .55 lol.

 

Lol I'd give u my low mileage lsj engine. 25k on block. 1k on head. :P. Of course the car has 25k.

If you were to sell the turbo kit. Without the turbo. Like everything to lines and such how much would you ask.

 

I'd help you install it Luis

 

U have no choice :3

Lol

 

Give me that corsa for a good deal and I'd have no choice

 

Been contemplating letting it go to you and only you lol. Just have to be turbed before I do that.

 

Only want it if I'm still turbo'd, we are stuck at a crossroads..........bump for mark, sorry for the side talk

 

Not gonna happen man lol.

 

bump. I should upgrade to your s259 and you should downgrade to my s256...for free.....ha!!!

 

That's not going to happen either. You should down your 60' times.

 

Part out car. Sell as roller!

Did that with my s2k and made 5k more than I asked haha. Lots of people woild want and use this as a drag car man!

 

Then they can buy it as it sits and go run 10s with slicks hahah.

 

Sick car

 

It doesn't need work. He could put the AC and radio back in or tune it for 93 but while it's still his he'd rather have it without those.

 

93 may happen anyways once I get the new parts on since I want to go back to daily driving it. Going to shoot for the pump gas record again. And again with a non ported head.

The AC though will not be put on while I own it. The buyer will get all the parts, but it will be up to them to install it. I'm not going to reroute the coolant lines, buy and install an oem thermostat housing, buy and install a coolant pipe in the rear, move the water pump, install the compressor condensor and lines, order a new belt for the length, charge everything, remove the center radio bezel I made to reinstall the hvac controls, move the gauges from that bezel to a new location and then rewire them properly.

I MIGHT consider it for another $1k to cover the cost of the new parts, time off work, and my time doing everything listed above.

 

Weekend, for me, bump!
